When you know what you are doing is right then act like it. One of the biggest problems we have here in America is that we are not forthright in our projecting truth to power. We are less stalwart than we should be. I make a point now of being hyper critical of the stupidity behind offensive illogical thinking and physically harmful policies that are being forwarded as necessary for our society. But even more important is my complete backing of promising and helpful policies that strengthen our society while lifting up those who are still and continuing to fall below acceptable living standards. I am as hard as a rock when it comes to protecting our respect and care for our citizens. Our rights and privileges will always be under some give and take formula that has to weigh what is best for us in total as opposed to what is best for us individually but the tension can be overcome with logic and a common sense that we are all in this together. We have abiding principles that have been hard fought and won for us as principles for living and as long as we all continue to respect and care about each other those principles will be our guiding lights. We must always protect justice as a principle, we must always protect equality as a principle. We must always protect opportunity for all as a principle and we must always protect respect for each other as a foundation for everything we do going forward. If you have been paying attention here you will notice that I offer nothing to be protected that has a negative connotation. There are more principles to fight for and to defend against erosion so we must keep our eyes upon what is best in life so that when the battle to erode principles comes we will already have our sleeves rolled up ready for the fight.
